this weekend at the nashville flea market, i was absotootly tickled, to find these white chenille punkins!!

i love old chenille blankets and have been collecting them for years, especially the white ones....there is just something about the nostalgic look of these blankets that has spoken to me for a very long time.....they conjur up feelings of sweet grandmotherly hugs.you may remember these orange chenille punkins that i shared last year....the same sweet unassuming lady at the flea made these too.

i bought them from her six years ago...the very first year she started selling them....i still love them and have them displayed in my kitchen......

but these white ones are my new faves!!

cute!!

i have been painting away in my studio and i am just thrilled and also relieved....... my long time bestie girlfriend, ANNA (i have known her for 30 years), is coming down from chicago to help me with my art show!!! she is an artist AND knows the art biz AND has been a producer on several independant films AND is one of the smartest and prettiest lady i know.....i feel like a weight has been lifted as she will take care of things like no other...... having her support and love and guiding hand means the world to me.....not to mention how much fun and tinkly giggles we will have together.

with the loving support of my family, my friends and my god, all of the pieces are fitting together.

Both sets of pumpkins are beautiful. Those white ones look really great in your living room. Glad to hear you are feeling confident about your art show and that you have a good friend to guide you along. Wishing you much success, Tammy

I really love the white ones! My family of old, an aunt and cousin used to make the chenile bedspreads. I could too if I found the correct thread. It is the same as candlewicking thread. Anyone know where it is available? Good luck with your art show!!! And, enjoy it.

Happy Sunday Erin!I just LOVE the white pumpkins!How wonderful to have your dear friend and artist by your side at the art show.. Yes, this is your time to shine..Wishing you the best successBlessings,Penny

What a dear friend your Anna is! Your show will be amazing. Now those pumpkins really do make my heart sing this Monday morning. I love your vintage chair as well...I have one in red..all rusted and chipped and have it on my front porch..maybe it needs a white face lift! hmmmmmmm! Thanks for all the inspiration I find here. HUGS xoxoxo

Your blog is so lovely.....glad I found you...I'm always so intrigued by the soft...and ethereal white blogs out here...I don't know why I always must be surrounded by color....because I do so love the calm feeling.

Darling darling little punkins, Erin! My grandmother had chenille bedspreads, too. Sweet memories for sure. :) Your show is going to be so darned successful, that you're going to be over the moon happy - I just know it! :)

Those have to be the cutest pumpkins ever born. Omg... And you're having an art show??? I would love to know all about it? Where? how many paintings will you have ready? Everything, tell me! Your artwork is breathtaking and such an inspiration to me. I can't tell you how much. It's wonderful that you have support and helpers too!
